Which coast to coast in May you doing? We supposed to be doing it at work in May.

Rest day for me today, so a little extra time in bed then an easy 25km to work.
Certainly nice weather for cycling this morning, also very pleasant to ride all the way in daylight for a change.

It started raining as I left last night, was a chilly run home after that, but no trouble.

Chilly again this morning, but a beautiful crisp sunny morning with it.

Encountered a complete tw...t last night, van approaching a junction from the left with me on the main road, I see him using his phone, so signal that is not really on in a polite way (just making my left hand into a phone). He then follows me very closely to the next roundabout and then passes closes.

Is it worth reporting? The van turns out to be an abnormal load escort vehicle, but there were no company logos on it, any suggestions?

Besides that, had a lovely ride in today!

A quiet commute in the sunshine again for me this morning

Decided to go in a different way for a change, and cut across Clapham Common and down to Chelsea bridge before heading along the embankment to Blackfriars. Mostly fine, except for Parliament Square - I can see why lots of people find that intimidating. Can't understand why they haven't done anything to make it more pleasant for both pedestrians and bikes - there must be hundreds of tourists around the place every day...

A bit nippy this morning, even a bit of frost on the grass verges. Light enough by 6:30 to see without lights, by 7:00 was light enough to turn them off.

Nice conditions this morning and uniformly great driving.

Bit warm this morning ... and my legs felt like lead, but that could be due to getting too hot on the bike.

It's at that really weird time of year. When it's cold first thing but warms up very quickly.

Yes ... when you get out of bed it feels cold so grabbing the thermal legs this morning was definitely a mistake!

As per the norm, a quiet commute for me and hopefully the good weather will be norm from now on too ;-)
